Maybe not specifically, but 95% of books that want you to physically stop and write things down.
When I'm reading, I'm on a roll here. If I actually stopped and took out a pen it would absolutely destroy my momentum, like slamming on the brakes on a car going 100 mph. I hated English class and marking up the book for this reason. It's common among the self-styled self-improvement guru books and it bugs me to no end.
I hope in the future people stop doing this frustrating non-sense. Bonus points if you're listening to the book in audio format and it has an agonizingly long pause after they tell you to write something down. As if I have pen and paper in front of me when I'm driving or at the gym.
